Safe Hand Line TechniqueSafe hand line technique is critical to avoid injury while fighting a large fish. A good pair of rubberized gloves allows you to grip even wet monofilament line. While fighting a fish don’t try and wrap the line around the storage spool. Use both hands, making sure that the line does not get wrapped around your thumbs/hands and feed the line into a small pile beside you. Make sure you keep everything away from the pile and that it will be out of the way when you go to gaff the fish. I prefer to use a palm down hand over hand technique because I can balance the use of biceps and triceps during the fight. If the fish surges violently let go or let the line slide loosely through the gloves and NEVER wrap the line around your wrists, hands or finger. A fast 50 lb tuna can swim at 40 knots.. imagine what that force would do to you if the line went tight and there was something in the way. Make sure your line can run freely at a moments notice. |
